Journal
of the Dead: A Story of Friendship and Murder in the New Mexico Desert
by Jason Kersten
Book Description:
I killed and buried my best friend today. . . . He turned
to me and begged that I put a knife through his chest. I did, and a second
time when he wouldn't die. . . . God and his family and mine, please forgive
me.
In the summer of 1999, best friends Raffi Kodikian and David Coughlin headed
off on an American rite of passage -- a cross-country trek in the spirit
of Jack Kerouac's On the Road. The two stopped for a simple overnight sleep-out
trip in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, carrying barely adequate camping
supplies, only three pint bottles of water, and a journal to record their
experiences. After they awoke the next morning in Rattlesnake Canyon, however,
the friends' adventure quickly took a turn for the worse when they were
unable to find their way back out of the canyon. The journal they left
behind chronicles their increasingly desperate search for help, as each
new path ended in frustration, and buzzards began to circle overhead.
Four days after they entered the canyon, help arrived. Rescuers found
Kodikian dehydrated but alive. When he was asked where Coughlin was he
pointed to a pile of stones: "Over there . . . I killed him," he said.
David Coughlin had been stabbed twice in the heart. Had there been a
darker motive than mercy? And how could anyone, under any circumstances,
kill his best friend?
Armed with the journal Kodikian and Coughlin carried into Rattlesnake
Canyon, Jason Kersten re-creates in riveting detail those fateful days
that led to the killing in an infamously unforgiving wilderness. Through
in-depth interviews and profiles, he presents the key players in Kodikian's
case and examines the ongoing controversy of an instance of murder that
captured national headlines. Jason Kersten's Journal of the Dead is at
once a true-crime mystery set in the wild, an exploration in moral ambiguity,
and a compas-sionate portrait of a friendship's tragic end.
